Video: On the Frontline of the Nepal Earthquake

Over the past week or so since my return from Egypt, much of what I have written about has centered around Nepal, and the suffering that is taking place there in the wake of the April 25 earthquake. But my words can only convey so much, which is why this video is so powerful. It not only gives us a look at the widespread damage there, it features first hand accounts from survivors about what that day was like, and the aftermath that has followed. This 7 minute clip will really bring the level of devastation home, and it is hard to overstate just how bad conditions there are at the moment. Watching this makes my heart ache for the Nepali people, who continue to face uphill battles to their recovery.
